. 3. aimed bag Sewing ling the mightl be accelerated rSlightly after the stitching has been performed, whereas in the forms above illustrated, the cfl'ect ot' thetilting of the, bag is by the action of gravity to accelerate the speed of the upper portion for an instant, or to Carr;I the of the bag, U n th( ia same through a greater distance base.

The guide rails (i and (H are eniplovifed to guide the bags, the one G in rear of the stitch-forming mechanism being arranged in a different vertical plane from the rail G and prevents toppling over of the bag, when it has' been tilted.A

aving thus described my invention, what claim es new and desire to secure by Letchain of stitches taut severing means. 4

apparatus including in combination stitch forming mechanisin, a. conveyer located beneath the stitchformin stitching mechanism, and means for shiftposition of the bag for rendering taut the chain of stitches between the closed bag and thestitching mechanism for the operation of the severing means. lied bag sewing apparatus including 'ein combination stitchin conveyer 'for presenting a lied bag to the stitchingymechansm, means for severing tho `chain fofjstitches. between the closed bag andthe stitching mechanism, and means for tilting the bag relative to the stitching mechanism after the filled bag-is closed for rendering the chain of stitches `taut between the bag and the stitching mechanism for the operati fof the severing means.

a 5. 511e? bag sewing apparatus includ- `oo nveyer for presenting a filled -conveyer for sewing means and a feeding mechanism, a

and the stitching mechanism for the nu *il ing in combination stitchin mechanism, a conveyer for presenting a fi led bag to the stitching mechanism, means for ysevering the chain of stitches between the closed bag and the stitchingmechanism, means for tilting the bag relative to the stitching mechanism after the filled bag is closed for rendering the chain of stitches taut between the bag and the stitching mechanism for the operation of the severing means, and meanslocated at one side of the. bag for preventing the same from toppling over. l 6. A filled bag sewing apparatus including in combination stitchinv mechanism, a bag to the stitching mechanism, means for severingthe chainpf stitches between the closed bag and the stitching mechanism; andmeans for tilting the bag relative to the stitching mechal nism after the filled bag is closed for renbag and the stitching mechanism for the opsaid tilting the direction of Ithe t-ravel of the conveyer.

7. A filled bagr sewing apparatus including'in com sewing head having sewing means and a feeding mechanism, a

presenting a filled bag t'o the sewing mechanism, a support for the conveyer, and means located'intermediate the ends of the support for tilting the bag after e same is closed to render the chain of stitches between the bag and the stitching mechanism taut'. 8. A vfilled bag Sewing apparatus includhead -having ing in combination a sewing a mechanism, a

conveyer for presenting a. filled bag to the sewingmechanism, a support for the. con- Voyer, means located intermediate the ends ofthe support .for tiltin the .bagafter the v saine is closed to render t e 'chain of stitches between the bag and the stitching mechanism taut, and means located in rear of 11o the Stitching mechanism whereby said taut chain of stitches may be severed. l

bag sewing apparatus includ@ ing in combination stitching mechanism, a conveyer located beneath the stitch-forming mec anism and operating to present a filled bag to the stitching mechanism, means for e, severing the chain of 'stitches between the closed bag and the-stitching mechanism, and shifting the position of the top the lstitching mechat operasevering means. 1 l0. A filled bag sewin apparatus includt ing in combination stitc in mechanism-n conveyer for pesenting a filled ba vto the,A stitching me -anism, means for shiing the I Abag from an upright to an inclinedposition 1 closed bag and the intensos render the after the bag has been closed to and stitchchain or stitches between the bag ing' mechanism taut.

ll. A filled bag sewing ing in combination stitching convever for `presenting a lilled stitching mechanism. means lor bagfrom an upright to an inclined position after the bag' has been closed to render the chain of stitches between the bag and stitching mechanism taut. and means adapted to sever the chain of taut stitches between the stitching mechanism.

12. filled bag sewing` apparatus includ ing,` in combination a convever belt, a table oreiwhich said belt is moved, a stitching mechanism located above said conveyer belt7 said table havingI an irregular surface at a point saibstantiail)7 beneath the stitching mechanism. whereby the position of the bag on the convever belt is automaticallj,v shifted to tighten the chain of stitches between the closed and the stitching mechanism subsequent to the closing of the bag.
